YEREVAN. – None of the political forces running in the vote has petitioned to the Constitutional Court (CC) and appealed the results of the snap parliamentary election in Armenia.

The deadline for appealing to the CC ended on Friday at 6pm.

Chairman of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC), Tigran Mukuchyan, told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the CEC will convene a meeting in the coming days and acknowledge the new National Assembly (NA) as “formed.”

“The political forces [that have won parliamentary seats] will be given a reasonable timeframe to submit withdrawals [from parliamentary mandate]; and if there are withdrawals, we [the CEC] will make decisions in connection with the withdrawals,” Mukuchyan said. “Subsequently, a record will be made about providing mandates, and the day of the first session of parliament will be announced.”

In his words, the decisions on possible withdrawal petitions shall be made by the end of the year, whereas the rest—in the coming year.

As reported earlier, as a result of the December 9 snap parliamentary election, Armenia’s new legislature will have 132 MPs. Accordingly, the My Step bloc, the Prosperous Armenia Party and the Bright Armenia Party have won 88, 26 and 18 seats, respectively, in the new NA.
